The rule for the API is pointers less than 8 bytes are inlined into the .data field of the attribute. Fix the creation of the driver udata struct to follow this rule and point to the .data itself when the size is less than 8 bytes. Otherwise if the UHW struct is less than 8 bytes the driver will get EFAULT during copy_from_user. Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky <leon@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@mellanox.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
